This meaning not eating foods such as meat and fish as well as some wines and gelatine products. Veganuary had a large amount of interest with half a million British citizens signing up in 2021. In addition to this, gluten free requests have also risen along with veganism. At Spiers Salads we ensure to provide and announce our vegan options where applicable.
